+### Use custom authentication for username and password authentication
+
+You can use custom authentication to implement username and password authentication. A sample custom authentication server sample is available for testing. See the [Azure IoT Operations MQTT username and password authentication sample](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/explore-iot-operations/tree/main/samples/auth-server-user-pass-mqtt) on GitHub.

 ## Disable authentication
 
 For testing, you can disable authentication for a broker listener port. We don't recommend that you disable authentication for production environments.
